The Konark Sun Temple is another one of the 7 wonders of India and is
located in Konark, Orissa. The temple was built in 1255 CE by the East
Ganga Dynasty ruler, King Narasimhadeva I. The temple is famous for its
fascinating architecture and erotic sculptures. The main attraction is
the sun-chariot-styled temple with elaborately carved wheels, walls, and
pillars. Though a major part is in ruins, what remains is enough to
draw the attention of visitors to the Konark Sun Temple. The temple is
dedicated to the Sun God. Its architecture and engineering continue to
baffle modern architects and engineers.
